This was a challenging yet enjoyable book. Due to its heavy subject matter, I wasn't able to binge it by any means. But I did find it interesting, informative, and relatable. I loved and appreciated Zauner's honesty and vulnerability. I also really loved the exploration of her identity as a mixed-race person, and the way that losing her Korean mother challenged that identity for her, and the ways in which she tried to understand/reclaim that identity - mostly, of course, through food. And the food descriptions were delicious and glorious. An emotional, vulnerable, and worthwhile read.
